Exhibit Elements
 Photo DisplayThe NYC exhibition will contain over 150 large-format photographs – the largest exhibit to date – aiming to offer a message about the need for sustainable development. More than a staging of beautiful pictures, it is an inventory of fixtures of our planet, with educational text to help us better understand and preserve it. Each exhibition features new photographs. |
 Walkable World MapA map of the world helps us visualize the location of the fascinating places around the world where Yann Arthus-Bertrand took his photos. Locations are indicated on the walk-on map together with their geographic co-ordinates. The map is a favorite playground for children who learn about geography and other cultures simply by walking it. Teaching a lesson about connectedness and our home, the world map helps us understand that we are all citizens of the same planet. |
 Exhibit for the BlindA one-of-a-kind exhibition in of itself, the Exhibit for the Blind allows us to experience the world through touch. We see, understand and interpret the image in front of us. And we react with our hearts. But what if we are blind? Meet tactile photography. For the first time, people who are visually impaired can access the surprise, drama and emotion of some of the world's most stunning photography. |
 Inspiration Center (Outdoor)Within the exhibit, an inspiration theater will screen a 90-minute video loop, featuring inspiring, action and solutions-driven stories about sustainability, positive social change, and global connectedness. Sponsors, partners and world-leading innovators and doers will share their initiatives and commitments. |
 Inspiration Center (Inside Gallery)The indoor inspiration center will include Yann's behind-the-scenes 15-minute documentary, classroom activities, and additional exhibit content. This venue is designed to bring people together to engage, educate and exchange ideas, research and sign up for various associations, organizations, green careers, newsletters, contests, and more. |
 GalaOur red carpet opening night gala will take place at the Winter Garden, a dramatic, 10-story vaulted-glass venue overlooking the Hudson River waterfront and site of the future Freedom Tower. With Earth From Above as its backdrop, indoor space is available for large private and public nighttime functions throughout the eight-week exhibition. Contact us to learn more. |
 WebsiteThe online element of the exhibit, Earthfromaboveusa.com, will be the catalyst and connection between the physical exhibits and the different communities touched and inspired by the beauty of the pictures. The site will celebrate and share widely among an ever-growing audience initiatives and action launched to make our world more peaceful and sustainable. |
